Avallon MBO Fund and Genesis Capital private equity funds announce an agreement for the divestment of Stangl Technik Holding to be acquired by SPIE, the independent European leader in multi-technical services.

Stangl Technik Holding, a leading provider of comprehensive engineering and technical building services in Poland and theCzech Republic, will change its ownership. Avallon MBO Fund II and Genesis Private Equity Fund III (GPEF III) have agreed with SPIE on the sale of a majority ownership stake. The closing of the transaction is expected to take place in July 2022 and is subject to approval by the Polish anti-monopoly authority.

In 2018, GPEF III and Avallon MBO Fund II acquired a majority stake of Stangl Technik (formerly EQOS EnergieČesko and EQOS Energie Polska) from a successful carve-out from a European corporate group specializing in the electrification of networks. An experienced long-standing management team, which had led the Polish and Czech entity since their establishment in 2010, became minority shareholders and played an indispensable role in the successful transition into an independent company with a stable client base and culture of continuous improvement.

During the four-year period, Stangl Technik Holding reaffirmed its position among a few leading companies in the Czech and Polish markets with the ability to deliver complete technical building services of the highest quality covering the whole lifecycle of the building. Stangl Technik successfully navigated through a turbulent period with continuously improving profitability. The same management team stays in the company and expect further growth alongside the new owner.

Adam Ruta, an Investment Manager at Genesis Capital, said: “Our team is delighted to see the entry of a strategic partner of such importance. The success of Stangl Technik is a great example of our investment approach when a highly competent management team gets support from a financial investor in a carve-out situation. We are confident that with the enhancedopportunities through SPIE and continuity of Stangl Technik’smanagement, the company will continue its successful development and further growth.”

Mateusz Kacprzak, an Investment Director at Avallon MBO Fund, said: “The exit from the Stangl Technik is an extremely successful transaction for us. It has been executed in a model manner for Avallon – carried out together with managers whom we supported in the buyout from a large industrial player, thus contributing to strengthening the company’s market position in Poland and the Czech Republic. I believe that this is the private equity at its best. In Avallon, we believe in and search for projects like that. We are proud of cooperating with the Managers of Stangl Technik for all those years and we wish the company further dynamic growth within SPIE.”

Markus Holzke, Managing Director of SPIE Deutschland & Zentraleuropa: “With Stangl, we are gaining a leading player for installation services in mechanical and electrical building technology. We are expanding our range of services and strengthening our position as a strong partner for multi-technical services in Poland and Czech Republic. We are very much looking forward to shaping the future with the management and the around 380 highly qualified employees of Stangl!”

Martin Horák, CEO of Stangl: “With our excellent competence, we have achieved a leading position in the Polish and Czech building technology market. We are very much looking forward to the joint future with SPIE and the opportunities to further develop the business in Poland and Czech Republic. We are convinced to make a strong contribution.”
